For the research paper, you must develop a thesis that analyzes one literary element (theme, character, plot, setting, etc.) in one short story that we have read this semester. The essay must be 5-7 typed, double-spaced pages in Times New Roman 12-point font. You must have at least 3 literary criticisms from the library’s databases, and a Works Cited page. My favorite databases are: ProjectMuse, MLA International Bibliography, and JStor. Make sure you have parenthetical citations for all borrowed material, whether it is paraphrased or directly quoted. You cannot use Wikipedia, Google, or Sparknotes. You must also have quoted or paraphrased material from your primary text.
Can this be done by 7pm 3/19/18 eastern time zone.
I would like it done on Character and symbolism from Raymond Carver’s short story “Cathedral”

The book used is:
The Norton Introduction to Literature. Portable Twelfth Edition. Ed. By Kelly Mays. W.W. Norton & Co: New York, 2014
Also this is what I have so far.
As we character is described as any personage in a literary work who acts, appears,or is referred to as playing a part. Although personage usually means a human being, it does not have to be. It can be anything such as intelligent machines, alien species, or even elves and monsters. All characters must have at least some human qualities such as, the ability to think, to feel pain, or to fall in love (Mays 131). The literary element symbolism is described as something that represents something else. Sometimes a symbol resembles or closely relates to what it represents, but often the associtation is arbitrary or subtle. Even though symbols can be subtle, through common usage, many symbols are instantly understood by alomst everyone in a particular group. In Raymond Carver’s short story “Cathedral” he uses many items for symbolization.
